one volume the best of his work."--_Adelaide Register._ * * * * * SEA AND SKY BY J. LE GAY BRERETON. _Small Quarto. Edition limited to 500 copies. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/8._ Any lover of Australian verse unacquainted with Mr. J. Le Gay Brereton's work has a real pleasure in store. The poems in this collection are unique, and as the _Bulletin_ says, "Such careful work, so delicately done, is a rare portent in our vague Australian sky." The _Scotsman_ writes that "Sea and Sky" "reflects no little credit upon the condition of poetical culture in Melbourne." "In Mr. Le Gay Brereton's 'Sea and Sky,'" says the _Bookman_, "one has some of the most delicate and essentially poetical work that has yet been written in Australia." * * * * * POETICAL WORKS OF WILLIAM GAY With Biographical Sketch by J. Glen Oliphant. _Bound in Full Cloth, Gold Blocked, Gilt Top. Crown 8vo. Price, 3/6; posted, 3/9. The authentic and only complete edition._ This Scotch born poet, driven like so many, before and since, to seek health across the sea, has left a rare memorial in the land of his adoption. We cannot call him an Australian poet. "His poetry," says his biographer, "was universal, not local, and might have been written anywhere," but as his life was linked with Australia, we are glad to count him among her sons, and to remember that he found under her skies greater spiritual peace, and a measure of physical strength sufficient to leave this legacy. "Gay's finished achievement.... He held by clarity of thought and expression above all things.... Gay's poetry ... will assuredly endure."--_The Argus_, Melbourne. "Many of the sonnets show an unusual command of language, and one at least, 'To Triumphe,' leaves us wondering what we may not have lost by the early death of their author."--_Birmingham Post._ * * * * * THE MOST PRACTICAL AUSTRALIAN COOKERY BOOK EVER PUBLISHED. THE KEEYUGA COOKERY BOOK BY HENRIETTA C. McGOWAN. (Of _The Age_ and _The Leader_,) _Price, 1/6; posted, 1/8._ Strongly Bound in Grease-proof Cloth.
